Default What exhaust is this?!

Last fall I was in an accident and since then I've been looking for the exact same pipes that I have now. The bottom pipe is bent in about a 1/4" and both of them have scratches on the the bottom side. I'm to the point of trying to find someone to repair the damaged pipes. Before I do that I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what they are. The 1 3/4" head pipe (covered by the heat shield) goes all the way to the joint where the 2 1/4" slip on connects. Samson has a lot of pipes that are close to these but they don't go to the back of the tire! Take a look at the pics and let me know. Thanks!











I know it's dirty from the winter.

Looks like a fairly generic drag pipe setup to me. Samsons maybe?

Thanks, I would guess Samson too but I can't find what model they are. The bend by the foot board points to Samson.

I think they are vance and hines long shots. Not the big shot longs, but regular long shots.

I've looked really hard at the V&H long shots but in all of the pictures I've see they only have one bend by the foot board and mine has two bends. I also thought V&H always stamped their logo on the exhaust where it's easy to see.

I've sent samson and V&H emails asking if I can send them pictures for them to review. We'll see what happens.

I think they're samson "Big Gun" Longshots. A few things lead me to this: 1. The bend at the floor boards as others have mentioned. 2. The heat shields: I have Samsons, that's how their heat shields are. And 3. The end caps. There's nothing to the end caps of the older Samson pipes.

**Samson (I think) is a sponsor here, every now and then they have a tech that chimes in. Hopefully he sees this and can bring more light to this.**
